Ten have visited the Newburg Inn over the years to investigate, and all have had the same conclusion: there are multiple spirits roaming the rooms.
Voices, shadow figures, footsteps and even sightings are nothing new for the restaurant’s employees, according to owner Lou Basta.
The Oct. 13 investigation will be a closed event, but on Oct. 15 the Newburg Inn will host a meet-and-greet dinner with the paranormal team, followed by a second investigation that guests can participate in.
The event will start at 6:30 p.m., followed by dinner at 7 p.m. and then the meet-and-greet.
Once the restaurant closes for the night, the doors will be locked and guests will be divided into groups to conduct their ghostly research.
